A few words on the designers at day 3 of AXDW

With experience over ten years in the fashion industry Andreea Tincu, a Romanian designer shows for the first time in Athens. Her collection includes a carefully studied construction, geometry, minimalism and pure lines, purged of any unnecessary details so let us see her.

"The designer who loves women" and his son Kyriakos will show also for the first time in Athens. Stephan is born in Greece, educated in Australia and living in Canada. His clothes are known for its innovative style reflecting his own artistic vision. Luxurious fabrics, rich textures and defining trims are an integral part of his design process.

'Dare to wear' is the motto of designers duo Dimitris Strepkos and Eleni Mparla. This season they take part with their alreayd 5th collection 'Dramatic Discipline' for fall/winter 2011/2012.
We met Celebrity Skin during the 5th AXDW as new designers. They won the awards for Best Catwalk and Best New Designer and we followed them during the next collections.

Christina Pappa and Joe Togkou presented last season their first collection at AXDW. Now they prepared a even more sexy collection believing that a woman must behave to be feminine and sexy!

Ratt by Rita Attalla (21:30)

Excessive luxury is Rita Attalla's proposal for fall/winter 2011/2012 . The idea of the chic uniform is the emphasis of this collection's looks. Taking its geometrical cuts as a starting point, Ratt is constructing a silhouette from a simple knitted draped dress to an exaggerated jersey evening dress with sculpted shoulders.
Rita will participate for the third time at Athens Exclusive Designers Week

Fashion and art are connected. Inspiration of art in fashion goes a long time back. But inspiration of fashion on art is becoming more and more visable.
To me, as fashion graduate and photographer this connection is inspiring and I love to read, research and write about it.
Any ideas are more than welcome and I hope you will follow me on my journey of research of art in fashion and fashion in art...
